It really only depends on what plants you intend to grow. The sun requirement is the same as if you planted into the ground. It the plant does well in shade, then that would be OK. The tomatoes and herbs that I have planted over the years, all do better in full sun. If you want to place the planter in a shady area, then find a "shade-loving" plant.

3-5 gallon size for small patio tomates, or dwarf plants. Due to nature of how tomatoes grow, I wouldn't recommend for large tomato plants without some overhead support, and then only the larger 30 gallon+ for stability. Soil in these pots will not have enough density to support any type of trellis. I would plant tomatoes in a suitable 10" or deeper above ground garden box. 4'x8' box built with 2"x12" untreated wood with open bottom and weed block fabric as a barrier between box soil and the ground. Add an overhead frame for support of climbing tomato vines. Mine were 8 feet tall and they still grew over the top! 3-5 gallon size for small patio tomates, or dwarf plants.

That all depends on you. We never had any luck growing tomatoes upside down.

It would be difficult to put a started plant in this, as there is no soil, so you would need to clean it first and put it in the cone. If the plant was very small you probably could.

you can probably use a tomato cage but they do also sell a separate accessory for the Earthbox a trellis staking system that runs down the middle of the Earthbox

no you can grow small plants in this throughout their life cycle. as long as they are small plants. but if you do change them into a bigger set up do it before the roots come out of the bottom of the individual 3inch net pots.

You can put the smaller one on top of the larger one if you want to. The largest one you can plant tomatoes in it as well. It is deeper than it looks. When you get it filled with dirt it makes a nice planter. We put weed blocker under our dirt to keep the weeds down. They are neat above ground gardens.

You can grow in any pot that I bought it from dollar store. As long as the pot has a hole at the bottom, you will be fine//:)

Are the tomato plants in a pot? If so, it probably would. If the plants are in the ground, there is a similar product that has "tubes" that would probably work better.

Yes you can do that. This plant want's a lot of sun and water. Don't worry about the degrees. It will grow gr8.

Positively! We use it every fall to can tomatoes. This thing gets right to work! You do, however, have to use a "water bath" pot and lid to hold the pint and quart jars as the pot provided isn't large or deep enough.

absolutely no. Tomatoes need much more light. With 4, or even 8 bulbs they will get very tall and stringy. I wouldn't use this to grow the tomatoes more then 1 ft before getting them out side. I have a couple of these plus 4ftx 8 bulb units and they do a good job of starting them but can't be used to grow to maturity. Growing flowers is a different story ... they work great.

No. And you should take out the marigolds. The tomatoes and peppers should do fine but since the tomatoes have deeper root systems than the box allows they will spread across the bottom requiring a larger area than when in the ground. If you want to plant squash make sure that it is a bush variety and I wouldn't try to plant any more than 2 alone in the planter and make sure that you leave lots of room for the box to get light. I've been using these for years with great results. Also, see global buckets.org for a DIY auto-watering system that works great with these planters.

You can use it however you want. I have the 75 peat pot green house this year. I've got 2 of them on my shelving unit with a heat mat and grow lights for my tomatoes and peppers. It's working great!
